It's kind of a round about way to find base/equipment info, IIRC it was plainly displayed somewhere but can't locate it now...

I found this base/flights/equipment from the jumpseat page:
https://w3.ameriflight.com/jumpseat/

YMMV

Last I saw it was 1900 to ALB and Reading. You only fly 3 days a week most of the year, usually with an FO

No FO currently.

There is also a run CVG-MQY-SDF-CVG, also in a 1900

The base is currently fully staffed.

I fly for Ameriflight and I'll say hands down it was the best decision I made for myself. Obviously everyone is different but Ameriflight has given me so much confidence as a pilot I don't know I would have flying elsewhere. No autopilot on the 99s, flying approaches pretty much everyday during the winters here in SEA keeps my skills sharp. Is it for everyone? No, but for me it's been great, if I were to say anything QOL for me is the toughest part of the job.

No autopilot? You mean no flight director, eh? Of course the autopilot can be deferred.

no, I meant what I wrote, no auto pilot. SOME have it but most don’t and certainly the ones here in Seattle don’t.

Sure, for those prospective applicants browsing, Ameriflight is a company that takes on the risk of hiring inexperienced pilots and gives them their first real flying job. A chance to build time, experience and a line on a resumé. However, it is not a destination company... it is a stepping stone. The company knows this and for the most part, treats their pilots as such.

That is the most generous way to put it.

And they know it, in our first day of class they mentioned that. I was replying to the guy who was questioning whether to apply or not, not that it is a final stop in a pilot's career.

Default SLC

Anyone know if there will be openings in SLC anytime soon? Looking to move out west and potentially apply.
